Why is the Passover important for Christians?

The Passover is profoundly significant for Christians as it foreshadows the work of Christ, our Paschal Lamb. It reminds us of our deliverance from sin and judgment, just as the Israelites were spared during the Exodus through the blood of the lamb applied to their doorposts (Exodus 12:13). The elements of the Passover—particularly the slain lamb—point to Christ's sacrificial death, as He is the Lamb of God whose blood redeems us from the curse of the law. This commemorative feast, now fulfilled in the Lord's Supper, also emphasizes the necessity of consuming the whole lamb, akin to the complete acceptance of Christ's life, death, and resurrection as our basis for salvation.
